Now, MSFT is incompatible How is it then that MSFT's Java was awarded "Most Compatible" in a recent review of various flavors of Java in a computer trade magazine? That is, it was more compatible with all the other versions than any other version. Also, re It doesn't seem like any of the other 150+ licensees have interpreted their Java contracts the way MSFT has. How is it that HWP is selling and licensing a version of Java? Did they invent this version from the ground up, essentially redesigning a new language similar to Sun Java? Or is HWP one of those 150+ licensees of Sun's. I personally wish Microsoft would just give back the whole license agreement; cancel it and give the code back; forget the whole thing. No matter what MSFT does, Sun is going to view them as the enemy, so what's the use in trying to get along?
